I am interested in hearing who people think is the perp is as well.
Once again as I was reading the transcript it struck me: how the "kids" seem to dislike Bob. What adult child would continually ask for an accounting of the trust? My parents have stuff in a trust and I can't imagine asking how much, what's in it, etc. I just asked if they had enough for retirement and shut my mouth after that.
This leads me to wonder a few things. Did Georgia (the late Mrs. Harrod) come from money? Did she financially "run" the household? Did she promise the kids "her" share of the money when she died?
Not that I think it is right and proper, but I can see if Georgia had a goodly sum of money that had come from her side and she told the kids it was theirs. Then, when she dies the kids, (who perhaps don't have a good relationship with Bob for whatever reason) start becoming concerned that Bob will cut them off somehow.
Otherwise, I just can't imagine the total selfishness coming from the kids. Their relationship with Bob seems unnatural. Almost like he is a stereotypical hated stepdad or something.
This is something that disturbs me the most. So much of what has been said or posted by the daughters (or people claiming to be daughters and certainly seeming to have a
lot of inside info) seemed totally abnormal and unnatural to me. And yet they seemed to think it was totally
normal. I don't think they ever expected to get a bad reaction from others.
True, a lot of what they posted has been deleted, but not because they themselves suddenly realised how bad it looked; it was only other people pointing out how unnatural it was that seemed to make them remove things or change their behaviour - stopping the strange posts on fb/myspace that were damaging Bob's case, for example. When things they said to msm got a bad reaction and couldn't be deleted, they blamed the journalists - on being 'taken out of context'.
I did begin to wonder at one stage if it was just us small group of WSers perceiving it like that, but the public reaction to Long Lost Love put that theory to bed for me, once and for all.
It still does worry me that because of their seeming lack of ability to see their actions and words as many others do, daughters have managed to cast suspicions on themselves, that they may be witholding information. But that really, they have absolutely no ideas or even theories about what may have happened to Bob at all.
I don't have that same worry with son-in-law JeM and grandson AH. They haven't said anything publically, apart from AH's deposition and comments of the police welfare check report. It is purely their actions I find suspicious - AH's activities with Bob's money, and JeM's activities on the day Bob went missing. And being the last known person to have seen him.
Apart from Fontelle's bravery in staying in California to keep the lamp in the window lit for Bob, I don't find anything odd in her behaviour or words since Bob disappeared at all. She's said only nice things about him - that's what the family of most missing loved ones do; she has stressed how he would not have left on his own - so people keep on looking for him. And she has spoken to the media again and again, opened her house and her heart to them, all in the cause of bringing Bob home.
Those little postcards she posted all along Bob's street, when Long Lost Love aired, letting neighbours know so they'd watch?
That's exactly what I'd expect a loved one of a missing person to do.
That's normal behaviour to me.
